If a parcel of land is sold for $200 per front foot, how much would a salesperson earn from a $200,000 sale if they receive 60% of a 10% commission?

To determine the amount the salesperson would earn from the sale, follow these steps:

First, calculate the total commission from the sale. The sale price of the property is $200,000, and the commission rate is 10%. To find the total commission, multiply the sale price by the commission rate:

Total Commission = Sale Price × Commission Rate

Total Commission = $200,000 × 0.10 = $20,000

Next, the salesperson earns 60% of this total commission. To find the salesperson's share, multiply the total commission by 60%:

Salesperson's Earnings = Total Commission × Salesperson's Percentage

Salesperson's Earnings = $20,000 × 0.60 = $12,000
